บท 276: Reasons ???: Going Home (7)

"Are you okay, my lady?" a female knight asked, looking worried as she noticed Ivy's reluctance to leave the carriage. While everyone else had quickly stepped out, stretching and enjoying the break from the tight space, Ivy stayed inside, not yet ready to join them.

"Oh, Yes. Yes. I'm fine. I was just--" Ivy hesitated to let the female knight know that she was actually looking out to find the Prince's whereabouts so that she could avoid him.

Noticing the girl's hesitation, the female knight immediately guessed what Ivy was about to say. "His Highness is not here at the moment. He has gone hunting with the other knights to prepare for the dinner later. 

"Oh, um, thank you," Ivy replied, feeling embarrassed that the female knight had figured out her intentions.

As the female knight helped Ivy down from the carriage, Ivy couldn't shake the feeling that she looked somewhat familiar. "I'm sorry, but have we met somewhere before?" she asked cautiously.
